Predicting which ecological factors constrain species distributions is a fundamental
ecological question and critical to forecasting geographic responses to global change …

Species range limits involve many aspects of evolution and ecology, from species
distribution and abundance to the evolution of niches. Theory suggests myriad processes by …

Species' geographic ranges are limited by climate and species interactions. Climate is the
prevailing explanation for why species live only within narrow elevational ranges in …

Many biodiversity hotspots are located in montane regions, especially in the tropics. A
possible explanation for this pattern is that the narrow thermal tolerances of tropical species …

Climate change is expected to cause shifts in species distributions worldwide, threatening
their viability due to range reductions and altering their representation in protected areas …

Interspecific aggression between ecologically similar species may influence geographic
limits by mediating competitive exclusion at the range edge. Advertisement signals that …

Many animal and plant taxa reach their highest endemism and species richness in montane
regions. The study of elevational range limits is central to understanding this widespread …

There is clear evidence that species' ranges along environmental gradients are constrained
by both biotic and abiotic factors, yet their relative importance in structuring realized …

Evaluar las especies endémicas y casi-endémicas de un país es una herramienta
importante y complementaria para identificar y determinar prioridades de conservación y …

The acceptance of the generalized or unified concept of species (ie that species are
segments of population lineages) implies that an important task for systematists is to focus …
